biden. that's big tension right now for him. >> ted cruz and company from that tea party group that you just mentioned, they have not formally endorsed senator mcconnell now that bevins is in the race. you know, to that point, maria, we used to make fun of the house because we said, you know, all those tea partiers and boehner, he can't seem to control his people, but it kind of seems like that brand of crazy is starting to find its way into the senate. >> very much so. but the difference between senate and house is that senate realizes it still does need to be legislated. they did pass the farm bill and sent it back to the house. same thing with the budget and with immigration. it is still very much on the house site to learn how to legislate and recognizing their role in order to not just make sure they continue working but also because they realize they may have a shot at regaining the senate in 2014. and more importantly a shot at white house. that's not the dysfunction right now, seepin
